Sirota’s Heavyweight Dub!, and others. His most recent album, Acoustic Pastime on
Ears & Eyes Records, features solo guitar arrangements of Brian’s compositions and
Thelonious Monk tunes. Jazz pianist Tom Vaitsas is a first-call veteran of the Chicago
music scene. A former sideman for legendary jazz saxophonist Von Freeman, he has
toured worldwide with blues legends Lurie and Carrie Bell, and performed with jazz
vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, guitarist Fareed Haque, and many others. Drummer
Peter Mack rounds out the trio, with deep experience performing and leading his own
